font

str or array

Settable

A font family name or priority list of font family names.

When processing text, Typst tries all specified font families in order until it finds a font that has the necessary glyphs. In the example below, the font Inria Serif is preferred, but since it does not contain Arabic glyphs, the arabic text uses Noto Sans Arabic instead.

The collection of available fonts differs by platform:

  • In the web app, you can see the list of available fonts by clicking on the “Ag” button. You can provide additional fonts by uploading .ttf or .otf files into your project. They will be discovered automatically. The priority is: project fonts > server fonts.
  • Locally, Typst uses your installed system fonts or embedded fonts in the CLI, which are Libertinus Serif, New Computer Modern, New Computer Modern Math, and DejaVu Sans Mono. In addition, you can use the --font-path argument or TYPST_FONT_PATHS environment variable to add directories that should be scanned for fonts. The priority is: --font-paths > system fonts > embedded fonts. Run typst fonts to see the fonts that Typst has discovered on your system. Note that you can pass the --ignore-system-fonts parameter to the CLI to ensure Typst won’t search for system fonts.

Default: "libertinus serif"
